We have a busy day’s racing on Thursday with All-Weather action from Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing…
7.30 Southwell – Recent winners Fiorella Princess and Elvetham clash
Last-time winners Fiorella Princess and Elvetham clash in a strong edition of the Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap at Southwell.
Topweight Fiorella Princess demolished her rivals when claiming a Yarmouth handicap by five lengths under Billy Loughnane earlier this month and should be hard to beat under a five-pound penalty.
Elvetham landed a fourth career success when comfortably scoring at Lingfield over this trip 23 days ago and she must be respected despite the rise in Class.
Court Drive could only manage second when favourite at Yarmouth on her last start and the visor might eke out further improvement.
Isle Of Lismore and Got The Booty complete the shortlist.
8.00 Southwell – Consistent Emma’s Letter faces unexposed Hamdania
Consistent Emma’s Letter faces 13 rivals in an open-looking Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Fillies’ Handicap at 8pm.
Ed Dunlop saddles Emma’s Letter who ran out a convincing winner of a Newmarket heat on her last start and this in-form filly could have more to offer under Billy Loughnane.
Hamdania tops the opposition for James Horton and Daniel Muscutt. A nose winner at Wolverhampton, she ran a creditable second on her next start at Lingfield and makes appeal from an opening mark of 74 on handicap debut over this extra three furlongs.
Fellow handicap debutant Aunt Roberta is another to note for George Scott, while Kino Plasmat and Lucy The Wire warrant further inspection.
6.30 Southwell – Pulse Of Fire and Lady Henshaw fancied
Pulse Of Fire and Lady Henshaw headline a field of 11 for this Free Bets On attheraces.com Novice Stakes over six furlongs.
Ed Walker’s Pulse Of Fire stepped up on a quiet debut to claim third over this distance at Redcar and, given the early speed he showed on that occasion, he might be hard to catch.
Patrick Owen’s saddles Lady Henshaw who built on her debut to finish an encouraging second at Pontefract. The hood is left off again and she may do better under new pilot Jack Mitchell.
Hunstanton is a notable newcomer for the Boughey team. A Night Of Thunder colt, he should be watched in the betting. Champion Crown has had a wind and gelding operation since last seen and his trainer adds cheekpieces.
Best of the rest
7.00 Southwell – 79-rated Leading Times tops five runners.
1.30 Compiegne – Puck represents Fabre and could be useful.
